Hylamide High-Efficiency Face Cleaner

Hylamide from Deciem is a skincare range that targets every depth of the skin from the surface o subcutaneous levels. I’m becoming more familiar with the Deciem brand & loving the products. This one is brand new and was just released in Boots on the 17th October.

I’m such a child, I love the Hylamide website it’s colour co-ordinated for the different series that you may need for skincare concerns. This product today is a part of the Core Series – High-Efficiency Face Cleaner. It aims to: clean surface, purifies pores, removes makeup and surface hydration.

This works by combining oils, esters and water-compatible cleaners so it’ll work like an oil cleaner but act like a water based one – um what?! Very different, so I was so intrigued because you expect something like an oil will just be like an oil – now you know I’m oil happy, so no issues there. Let me just briefly run down the oils included are rich in Vitamin E, fatty acids, great for acne prone skin, they help heal damaged skin.

So how did I find it performed? As it can be used two different ways – if you’re wearing makeup, massage the product onto a dry face, I’ll work the product on my eyes especially gently on the eyes to break down the make-up and rinse off with warm water. When used this way I found that it reminds me of a dry oil but not as 'oily' it's a different product than I've used before but it breaks down the makeup well and the face isn't dried out. Without make-up massage the product onto a wet face and rinse off with warm water, I noticed when wet it does give a light milky appearance but nothing big, very easy to wipe off. I like to use it in the morning as it doesn't feel to be stripping anything from my face and right now the more natural oils I can keep with this cold weather creeping in the better.

I haven't heard of this brand before (although I'm usually just in lcal eco coops or Holland and Barrett!) It sounds like it is a good product though with the balance of oils. It can be so difficult to find something that gently cleans without stripping - especially for the winter months when skin takes a lot!
